Ava Porter recorded her second shutout victory as Providence prevailed, 2-0.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Providence College field hockey team got two goals from junior Lily Procaccianti (Cranston, R.I.) to defeat Georgetown in BIG EAST play (2-0) on Friday, Sept. 26 at Lennon Family Field in Providence, R.I. Providence improved to 5-3 overall (1-1 BIG EAST), while Georgetown dropped to 2-6 (0-2 BIG EAST).
GAME FLOW:
• After a scoreless first quarter, the Friars got on the board quickly in the second frame to take a 1-0 lead at 15:56. The goal came during a penalty corner play, featuring a deflection by Procaccianti off a perfect set-up from Bo Martina (Nieuw Vennep, Netherlands).
• At halftime, the Friars maintained their 1-0 lead. Providence held a 6-0 edge in shots in the first half, including a 4-0 edge in shots on goal. Providence also held the advantage in corners, 4-0. All four corners came in the second quarter.
• Georgetown put the pressure on in the second half and outshot Providence, 6-2, over the final 30 minutes of action. However, the Hoyas were only able to put one of their six shots on frame. It resulted in Ava Porter's (Somerset, Mass.) only save of the game in the fourth quarter.
• Procaccianti scored her second goal of the game to give the Friars some insurance in the closing minutes (56:27). The goal came on another corner opportunity, assisted by Cary van Benten (Ashburn, Va.).
NOTES:
• Procaccianti recorded her second multi-goal game of the season (third of her career) and now leads the team in goals overall, with five.
• Porter recorded her second shutout of the season and improved to 5-3 in the cage as a rookie.
• Van Benten picked up her team-best seventh assist of the season, while Martina notched her second.
• Procaccianti (11 points), Van Benten (11 points) and Martina (10 points) lead the team in scoring this season through eight games.
• The Friars improved to 21-2 all-time against Georgetown.
WHAT'S NEXT:
• The Friars will close out a seven-game home stand on Sunday, Sept. 28 when the squad hosts non-conference foe Hofstra. The game is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m. on Lennon Family Field.
